The city was nice. It was nothing like Missouri that was for sure. It had been so long since she had seen her cousin, and she missed her more than anything. She was sure there was so much to be caught up on. Stopping by the mansion had been her first step. She was welcomed there, but to her surprise Colette was not there. A handsome man named Tyler told her that she was at the Zoo with the twins. Asking for directions she was on her way. Two buses and a block walk later she found herself at the entrance to the zoo. Smiling as she entered she instantly felt all the worries she had lately were melting. This was New York, and she was going to see her Cousin. She was supposed to be happy. The clicking of her heels filled the walkway as families all around fed the animals locked in cages. It was sad. All the animals locked in cages used for the peoples entertainment, yet no one really cared so much about that as to why the tiger wouldn't get up for the children. Some people were selfish. They just wanted what they wanted not caring who they hurt in the process. No one cared that the tiger might be tired, or even hydrated. No, they wanted a show. She shook the thought realizing that she was putting her own two sense where they weren't needed. She saw her before she even began looking. Cousin Colette and the two cutest babies in the world. Walking at a slow pace she tried to make the least noise she could as she snuck up behind her. "Surprise!" She yelled slightly once she was right behind her.

A week.
One week and it's been chewing at her since then. But she had a way of coping with it. She ignored everything else and spent time just being a good mom. That's what Parker and Eliza deserved, a good mom; a stable mom.
But no, she was so far from stable. She rubbed at her temple, smiling softly down at the twins as the cooed and pointed at the tigers. She felt like that tiger. Felt like everyone knew what she had done, and was being locked away for it.
"Surprise!"
She jumped, shrieking out as she twirled around. Natalie!--wait, she wasn't suppose to be here until Sunday. "You're not suppose to be here till Sunday." She said blinking before laughing gently and bringing her in for a hug.

Natalie embraced her before pulling away to speak. "Well my plans changed so I thought I would surprise you." She grinned softly. "Oh how I have some things to tell you." She giggled. Her eyes fell to the small children. She knelt softly to their level.
"Hey there cuties. You must parker." She poked softly at his tummy smiling softly. "And you pretty girl must be Eliza." She grinned at the small girl and stood back up. "Your mommy has told me so much about you."
Her attention tunred back to Colette. "I am at your services Coleee." She giggled. "I have missed you so much." She leaned back in to embrace her cousin. Touching her skin once again a vision of Colette's body with a males. She tired to ignore it pulling away from the hug, but the vision continued.
It closened up on the males face. It was not Charles. Not Charles at all....looks like Cousin Coleee had some secrets of her own.

"Well my plans changed so I thought I would surprise you."
"That's great." She laughed a bit. Not that she didn't love having Nat around. She did, she wanted that. But she knew that Nat couldn't control her insight.. She closed her eyes for a moment smiling as she tried to calm her nerves.
"I am at your services Coleee." She giggled. "I have missed you so much."
"No. Nat it's not like.. service." She laughed. "Just some help maybe a couple hours a day? I'm kinda.." She stumbled, and she knew it. But she might as well just stumble her way through until it was out.
".. taking some time.. off."

Taking some time off?
That never sounde like Colette. Colette was always the go-getter of the family. Colette didn't take time off. She either did something or quit... Those words scared her, but she didn't let those feelings rise to the surface.
"Hmm... well either way I'm here for you.." She spoke softly. "Since ya know... Charles isn't." She said. She instantly wished she could have taken that back. She hated that her Insight allowed her to see into people's past. Even if she didn't want to know it.
She loved her cousin she really did, but she did not tolerate cheaters. Maybe it was just a dream. Maybe it was just something wrong with her powers. She prayed it was something wrong with her powers.
This was Colette after all. The best friend, best wife, best mother, best teacher in all of New York. She was Natalie's role model. Colette couldn't be a cheater....it was impossible, but she would never know. Because she would never let Colette know, what she knows unless she tells her herself.
"Are we going to have girls nights atleast? Preferably out of the house ones. I need to find me a man." She said giggling. Instantly she felt stupid. She hadn't told Colette yet. Did she still want to? Wouldn't you be embarrassed if you weren't enough so your fiance turned to your best friend?
Well she was.

Instantly, she froze. She closed her eyes and gripped onto the twin's strollers. Well this was great! She shook her head, letting out a deep breath; hopefully unnoticeable. "Are we going to have girls nights atleast? Preferably out of the house ones. I need to find me a man." No, no--she couldn't. Didn't want to. She just wanted to spend time with her kids.
She swallowed, giving a slight nod. "Yeah.. sure." Already she felt like slapping a hand to her forehead. "Wait." She breathed out, shaking her head and turning to look at her. "What about Adam?"

Natalie rolled her eyes instantly taking her gaze from Colette's. "Pshh what about him?" She said as if it was nothing. As if the man she was going to marry hadn't cheated on her with her best friend on her couch. She took a deep breath and sighed.
"That's the reason I'm earlier actually." She turned back to Colette with a fake grin. Colette could always tell when she was lying. So she couldn't lie if she wanted to. "Let's just say things got a little dirty..." She paused looking down at her shoes. "On my couch..." She sighed still looking down at her shoes.
"With my maid of honor." She said letting out a small awkward cough. "So my life sucks." She looked up smiling as if none of this had made her cries for days on end. "But now I'm here with you." She smiled.

Oh god. "With my maid of honor." She said letting out a small awkward cough. "So my life sucks." She took in a deep breath and sighed, shaking her head. "Right time to come then. My life is shit too." Parker cried out gently for his bottle, which she abruptly gave him; Eliza poking at him, trying to get it.
"Some grand meeting huh?" She laughed dryly. It was so hot out today, she was fanning herself now as she stood there in her sundress. "You wanna head for some shade?" She asked. "Don't want the kids getting burnt."
